San Antonio Texans:
The San Antonio Texans were a Canadian Football League (CFL) team that played in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, in the 1995 CFL season. They had relocated from Sacramento, California, where the team had been called the Sacramento Gold Miners. After relocating, the team still had the same ownership in Fred Anderson and the same staff, including General Manager Dan Bass and Head Coach Kay Stephenson.
In the 1993 season there were supposed to be two U.S. teams in the CFL, the Sacramento Gold Miners and the San Antonio Texans; however, the original Texans franchise folded without ever playing when its owner, Larry Benson, ran out of money and was forced to withdraw. After two seasons (1993 and 1994) in Sacramento, it was the Gold Miners who then became San Antonio's team as the Texans. The Gold Miners/Texans franchise thus played three seasons (five if the Texans' WLAF incarnation, the Sacramento Surge, is also counted), one of them as the Texans, before folding in 1995.
